UNION COUNTY, N.C. — A local elementary school is on lockdown after criminal activity was reported in the area.

New Town Elementary in Waxhaw was scheduled to dismiss students at 2 p.m. on Friday but due to a burglary in a neighborhood close to the school, that dismissal has been delayed.

A spokesman with Union County Sheriff’s Office said two armed black males broke into a woman’s home and stole several items before leaving on foot. The woman barricaded herself inside a room and called 911.

Officials are currently searching along New Town Road and Billy Howey Road. Residents are asked to remain inside while the investigation continues.
